In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1050 are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce 7500 LE.

The GeForce 7500 LE has a 126 MHz higher core clock speed and 4 more Texture Mapping Units than the Radeon X1050. This results in the GeForce 7500 LE providing 2.6 GTexel/s better texturing performance. Neither of these GPUs support DirectX 10 or higher, so Texture Rate holds more weight than when comparing more modern GPUs.

The GeForce 7500 LE has a 126 MHz higher core clock speed than the Radeon X1050 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GeForce 7500 LE providing 0.5 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The Radeon X1050 was released less than a year after the GeForce 7500 LE, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.

Both GPUs exhibit very poor performance, so rather than upgrading from one to the other you should consider looking at more powerful GPUs. Neither of these will be able to run the latest games in any playable way.

The GeForce 7500 LE has 128 MB more video memory than the Radeon X1050, so is likely to be slightly better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the Radeon X1050 has superior memory performance.

The Radeon X1050 has 0.1 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce 7500 LE, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon X1050 is marginally better than the GeForce 7500 LE.

The GeForce 7500 LE has 8 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon X1050 has 4. However, the actual shader performance of the GeForce 7500 LE is 4 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon X1050 is 1. The GeForce 7500 LE having 3 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GeForce 7500 LE delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Radeon X1050.

The GeForce 7500 LE transistor size technology is 20 nm (nanometers) smaller than the Radeon X1050. This means that the GeForce 7500 LE is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the Radeon X1050. While they exhibit similar graphical performance, the GeForce 7500 LE should consume less power than the Radeon X1050.

The Radeon X1050 requires 24 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce 7500 LE. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GeForce 7500 LE and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Radeon X1050. The two GPUs have been recommended a PSU with the same amount of wattage. As such, there is no need to worry about which will more significantly affect your yearly electricity bills.
